[Year 12 IT Apps] Students taking ownership...

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I now have two apprentices that work for me from Apprenticeship Plus who
handle all the paperwork and staffing details. Very cost effective although
you need a time slot to train and support them. It is very important that
you carefully interview and cautiously screen if you select a candidate from
outside your school. Taking this step has been one of the best decisions I
have made in 2008.     http://www.apprenticeshipsplus.org.au/

Happy to discuss in more detail for anybody interested off list. :-)

Regards Roland

> Hi folks,
> as part of my potential new role for next year, are there any schools out

> management troubleshooting/monitoring within the network for next year.
> Essentially, a panel of about 6-7 of my capable and trusted yr10/11/12's
> have been approached by me to 'assist' from a student perspective, in
> network management next year.
> This is not a traineeship or 'official' position, but is still good
> grounding for the chosen ones.
